I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal.

One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product. ↗

Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation. ↗
